elasticsearch_exporter_config
The elasticsearch_exporter_config
block configures the elasticsearch_exporter
integration,
which is an embedded version of
elasticsearch_exporter
. This allows for
the collection of metrics from ElasticSearch servers.
Note that currently, an Agent can only collect metrics from a single ElasticSearch server. However, the exporter is able to collect the metrics from all nodes through that server configured.
We strongly recommend that you configure a separate user for the Agent, and give it only the strictly mandatory security privileges necessary for monitoring your node, as per the official documentation.
Full reference of options:
yaml
# Enables the elasticsearch_exporter integration, allowing the Agent to automatically
# collect system metrics from the configured ElasticSearch server address
[enabled: <boolean> | default = false]
# Sets an explicit value for the instance label when the integration is
# self-scraped. Overrides inferred values.
#
# The default value for this integration is inferred from the hostname portion
# of address.
[instance: <string>]
# Automatically collect metrics from this integration. If disabled,
# the elasticsearch_exporter integration will be run but not scraped and thus not
# remote-written. Metrics for the integration will be exposed at
# /integrations/elasticsearch_exporter/metrics and can be scraped by an external
# process.
[scrape_integration: <boolean> | default = <integrations_config.scrape_integrations>]
# How often should the metrics be collected? Defaults to
# prometheus.global.scrape_interval.
[scrape_interval: <duration> | default = <global_config.scrape_interval>]
# The timeout before considering the scrape a failure. Defaults to
# prometheus.global.scrape_timeout.
[scrape_timeout: <duration> | default = <global_config.scrape_timeout>]
# Allows for relabeling labels on the target.
relabel_configs:
[- <relabel_config> ... ]
# Relabel metrics coming from the integration, allowing to drop series
# from the integration that you don't care about.
metric_relabel_configs:
[ - <relabel_config> ... ]
# How frequent to truncate the WAL for this integration.
[wal_truncate_frequency: <duration> | default = "60m"]
#
# Exporter-specific configuration options
#
# HTTP API address of an Elasticsearch node.
[ address: <string> | default = "http://localhost:9200" ]
# Timeout for trying to get stats from Elasticsearch.
[ timeout: <duration> | default = "5s" ]
# Export stats for all nodes in the cluster. If used, this flag will override the flag `node`.
[ all: <boolean> ]
# Node's name of which metrics should be exposed.
[ node: <string> ]
# Export stats for indices in the cluster.
[ indices: <boolean> ]
# Export stats for settings of all indices of the cluster.
[ indices_settings: <boolean> ]
# Export stats for cluster settings.
[ cluster_settings: <boolean> ]
# Export stats for shards in the cluster (implies indices).
[ shards: <boolean> ]
# Export stats for the cluster snapshots.
[ snapshots: <boolean> ]
# Cluster info update interval for the cluster label.
[ clusterinfo_interval: <duration> | default = "5m" ]
# Path to PEM file that contains trusted Certificate Authorities for the Elasticsearch connection.
[ ca: <string> ]
# Path to PEM file that contains the private key for client auth when connecting to Elasticsearch.
[ client_private_key: <string> ]
# Path to PEM file that contains the corresponding cert for the private key to connect to Elasticsearch.
[ client_cert: <string> ]
# Skip SSL verification when connecting to Elasticsearch.
[ ssl_skip_verify: <boolean> ]
# Include informational aliases metrics.
[ aliases: <boolean> ]
# Export stats for Data Streams.
[ data_stream: <boolean> ]
# Export stats for SLM (Snapshot Lifecycle Management).
[ slm: <boolean> ]
# Sets the `Authorization` header on every ES probe with the
# configured username and password.
# password and password_file are mutually exclusive.
